美國國務院網站3月5日發表正式文件揭批普京的十大“謬論”，文件稱，“俄羅斯為其在烏克蘭的非法軍事活動的辯解中不乏虛假之處，堪稱小說”。
1.普京稱，俄羅斯在克里米亞的武裝力量只是為了保護俄軍方資產，在克里米亞佔領基礎設施和軍工廠的只是“公民防衛團體”而非俄方軍隊。
美方稱，強有力的證據表明，俄羅斯安全部隊都是克里米亞高度組織化的反烏克蘭部隊的核心力量。 雖然他們身著無徽章軍裝，但是他們駕駛的車輛都是俄軍方牌照，並且在接受他國媒體採訪時也都不諱言自己屬俄羅斯安全部隊。 再者，這些人手上的武器也並非平民可以普遍獲得。
2.普京稱，俄方行動符合1997年烏克蘭和俄羅斯聯邦友好條約。
美方稱，該條約要求俄方尊重烏克蘭的領土完整。 俄方在烏克蘭的軍事行動已讓他們實際掌控了克里米亞，這顯然是對烏克蘭領土完整和國家主權的侵犯。
3.普京稱，反對派未能遵守2月21日與亞努科維奇的協議。
美方稱，該協議提出的計劃是最高拉達或議會將通過讓烏克蘭恢復到2004年憲法的法案，因此該國將恢復到以議會為中心的憲政體制。 根據協議條款，亞努科維奇應24小時內簽署頒布立法，和平解決危機。 而亞努科維奇非但拒絕完成協議，相反還收拾身家出逃，並且還留下的大量貪腐的證據。
4.普京稱，烏克蘭臨時政府不合法，亞努科維奇仍是烏克蘭的合法領導人。
美方稱，3月4日，普京自己也承認亞努科維奇“政治生涯已經沒有未來”的現實，而此前亞努科維奇逃出烏克蘭，甚至其黨派也發表聲明表示支持烏克蘭臨時政府。 烏克蘭新政府不僅以超過82%的支持率得到烏克蘭民選議會的認可，而且也是能帶領人民在5月25日進行選舉的人民政府。
5.普京稱，烏克蘭存在人道主義危機，目前有數千名烏克蘭難民流向俄羅斯尋求庇護。
美方稱，目前為止沒有證據證明烏克蘭存在人道主義危機，獨立國際機構和記者都沒有發現難民潮。
6.普京稱，俄裔受到威脅。
美方稱，除了俄羅斯媒體，無報導顯示俄裔受到威脅，自從基輔新政府成立，沒有出現暴亂或政治報復。
7.普京稱，俄軍事基地受到威脅。
美方稱，烏克蘭政府保證遵守所有國際協議，包括保障俄在克里米亞軍事基地安全。 相反，烏克蘭軍事基地反而受到俄方軍隊威脅。
8.普京稱，烏克蘭南部和東部的教堂和猶太教堂受到攻擊。
美方稱，國內外宗教領袖表示，沒有攻擊事件。
9.普京稱，基輔方面企圖顛覆克里米亞政府。
美方稱，烏克蘭派出國防部長尋求對話，但俄羅斯軍隊禁止他進入克里米亞，俄軍反而離開基地，佔領基礎設施。
10.普京稱，烏克蘭最高拉達被極端分子或恐怖分子操控。
美方稱，烏克蘭最高拉達(議會)沒有極端派，法案獲大票數通過，國會公開表明不尋求歧視政策。

President Putin's Fiction: 10 False Claims about Ukraine

As Russia spins a false narrative to justify its illegal actions in Ukraine, the world has not seen such startling Russian fiction since Dostoyevsky wrote, “The formula ‘two plus two equals five’ is not without its attractions.”
Below are 10 of President Vladimir Putin’s recent claims justifying Russian aggression in the Ukraine, followed by the facts that his assertions ignore or distort.
1. Mr. Putin says: Russian forces in Crimea are only acting to protect Russian military assets. It is “citizens’ defense groups,” not Russian forces, who have seized infrastructure and military facilities in Crimea.
The Facts: Strong evidence suggests that members of Russian security services are at the heart of the highly organized anti-Ukraine forces in Crimea. While these units wear uniforms without insignia, they drive vehicles with Russian military license plates and freely identify themselves as Russian security forces when asked by the international media and the Ukrainian military. Moreover, these individuals are armed with weapons not generally available to civilians.
2. Mr. Putin says: Russia’s actions fall within the scope of the 1997 Friendship Treaty between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
The Facts: The 1997 agreement requires Russia to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, which have given them operational control of Crimea, are in clear violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
3. Mr. Putin says: The opposition failed to implement the February 21 agreement with former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
The Facts: The February 21 agreement laid out a plan in which the Rada, or Parliament, would pass a bill to return Ukraine to its 2004 Constitution, thus returning the country to a constitutional system centered around its parliament. Under the terms of the agreement, Yanukovych was to sign the enacting legislation within 24 hours and bring the crisis to a peaceful conclusion. Yanukovych refused to keep his end of the bargain. Instead, he packed up his home and fled, leaving behind evidence of wide-scale corruption.
4. Mr. Putin says: Ukraine’s government is illegitimate. Yanukovych is still the legitimate leader of Ukraine.
The Facts: On March 4, President Putin himself acknowledged the reality that Yanukovych “has no political future.” After Yanukovych fled Ukraine, even his own Party of Regions turned against him, voting to confirm his withdrawal from office and to support the new government. Ukraine’s new government was approved by the democratically elected Ukrainian Parliament, with 371 votes – more than an 82% majority. The interim government of Ukraine is a government of the people, which will shepherd the country toward democratic elections on May 25th – elections that will allow all Ukrainians to have a voice in the future of their country.
5. Mr. Putin says: There is a humanitarian crisis and hundreds of thousands are fleeing Ukraine to Russia and seeking asylum.
The Facts: To date, there is absolutely no evidence of a humanitarian crisis. Nor is there evidence of a flood of asylum-seekers fleeing Ukraine for Russia. International organizations on the ground have investigated by talking with Ukrainian border guards, who also refuted these claims. Independent journalists observing the border have also reported no such flood of refugees.
6. Mr. Putin says: Ethnic Russians are under threat.
The Facts: Outside of Russian press and Russian state television, there are no credible reports of any ethnic Russians being under threat. The new Ukrainian government placed a priority on peace and reconciliation from the outset. President Oleksandr Turchynov refused to sign legislation limiting the use of the Russian language at regional level. Ethnic Russians and Russian speakers have filed petitions attesting that their communities have not experienced threats. Furthermore, since the new government was established, calm has returned to Kyiv. There has been no surge in crime, no looting, and no retribution against political opponents.
7. Mr. Putin says: Russian bases are under threat.
The Facts: Russian military facilities were and remain secure, and the new Ukrainian government has pledged to abide by all existing international agreements, including those covering Russian bases. It is Ukrainian bases in Crimea that are under threat from Russian military action.
8. Mr. Putin says: There have been mass attacks on churches and synagogues in southern and eastern Ukraine.
The Facts: Religious leaders in the country and international religious freedom advocates active in Ukraine have said there have been no incidents of attacks on churches. All of Ukraine’s church leaders, including representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate, have expressed support for the new political leadership, calling for national unity and a period of healing. Jewish groups in southern and eastern Ukraine report that they have not seen an increase in anti-Semitic incidents.
9. Mr. Putin says: Kyiv is trying to destabilize Crimea.
The Facts: Ukraine’s interim government has acted with restraint and sought dialogue. Russian troops, on the other hand, have moved beyond their bases to seize political objectives and infrastructure in Crimea. The government in Kyiv immediately sent the former Chief of Defense to defuse the situation. Petro Poroshenko, the latest government emissary to pursue dialogue in Crimea, was prevented from entering the Crimean Rada.
10. Mr. Putin says: The Rada is under the influence of extremists or terrorists.
The Facts: The Rada is the most representative institution in Ukraine. Recent legislation has passed with large majorities, including from representatives of eastern Ukraine. Far-right wing ultranationalist groups, some of which were involved in open clashes with security forces during the EuroMaidan protests, are not represented in the Rada. There is no indication that the Ukrainian government would pursue discriminatory policies; on the contrary, they have publicly stated exactly the opposite.
